Chief Operating Officer

Chief Operating OfficerOur client is a fast-growing oilfield technology company. They build proprietary proppant coating and friction reduction systems that run on live hydraulic fracturing sites and directly improve an operator's cost per lateral foot and well performance. As adoption spreads across more basins, the company needs someone who can turn strong technology into flawless execution, day after day, deployment after deployment.That's where you come in. As Chief Operating Officer, you'll take full ownership of field operations from the CEO. You'll build the systems, teams, and discipline needed to run a reliable, multi-fleet, multi-basin operation.
